The statistical population include 15 experts, and 390 librarians whom were selected by theoretical and cluster sampling. A semi-structured interview was used in the qualitative part and a questionnaire in the quantitative part. Data analysis was performed by qualitative data coding method with MAXQDA. And based on principal component analysis method and structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings: Effective dimensions on talent identification of librarians were identified in 6 dimensions : the central phenomenon (talent identification and selection talent recruitment, evaluation and development); Causal conditions (central talent in the university, value and position of the library profession in the university); Strategies (comprehensive analysis of librarianship job, appropriate university approach to talented librarians, development of university librarians training process); Background conditions (legal contexts, goals and prospects of the university, economic and social issues); Interfering factors (environmental conditions); And the consequences (individual flourishing of librarianship talents, library upgrades and university success, growth and development of the country) .Originality: The need for comprehensive attention to the talent search of University librarians leads to effective development of university libraries.
