ABSTRACT
To meet the needs of readers is the fundamental task of the university library. However, due to the difference in different readers’ preferences for different kinds of information, the weights analysis of the readers’ needs is a major problem. On the basis of the traditional maximization deviation method, with full consideration of the subjective preferences of the different readers, a quantification approach of readers’ needs weights is proposed and the readers’ needs model is built. By using the proposed model, the weights selection problem of information resources in university libraries is solved. The practical sample shows that the optimization model meets the readers’ needs, which has very important meaning and value in improving the efficiency of the university library’s service.
