Abstract-Book selection is an important operation in a library and should be conducted on the basis of reasonable data. This paper evaluates the process of book selection in a university library by analyzing the loan records. The authors classified the books in the library according to Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC), and investigated the turnover rate for each category. The results show that the book selection process in the library was appropriate in terms of the turnover rate although the process was not conducted with considering the turnover rate. Additionally, the authors considered the rate of the books that bought by researchers in the university and accessioned to the library. The results indicate some viewpoints for selecting books in university libraries.Index Terms-Data mining, library, book selection, loan record.
