Zero-growth theory (Zero-growth theory), also known as the steady state theory (Steady state theory), which was originally from the United States and British libraries put forward, after the world became a very effective control of the library collection increase in the number theory. So far, the world library community generally recognized and accepted this theory, the most authoritative explanation that came from in 1975 by the British University Grants Committee report published by Atkinson (The Atkinson report). According to Atkinson interpretation of the report, zero-growth theory is to ask the establishment of limited-scale libraries, the library to reach a reliable target (collection volume, function and other indicators), the discounting rate of collections should be equal to the speed of the purchase documents, namely, the library literature on newly purchased only prepared to remove the corresponding documentation of compensation, collection rate of zero real growth, so that the total library collection of literature to maintain a relatively stable state. Library to implement this theory, known as the 'restricted the growth of self-renewal of the library'.
