If mentoring is performed in university libraries for mentors, the senior librarians with much experience and mentees, the juniors with less or no experience, how would they respond to it and what would be the mentoring they wish to do? This study aims to find those out by analyzing data. For this, it referred to literature and conducted a survey with the subject of the librarians at the P university library. As a result, they showed relatively higher intentions to participate in mentoring. Their highest interest topics were their job related advice or consultation. For the mentor-mentee matching, they wished to have such relationship from the board organized in the library, or mentees wanted to select. They chose work ability as the most important requirement for their partners involved in the mentoring. They responded that the best mentor-mentee matching would be 1:1 and less than a year would be appropriate for the mentoring period. As shown above, most of the librarians showed intentions to participate in mentoring for their professional development and self-learning opportunity; therefore, university libraries should publicize librarians' mentoring actively and develop various programs for it.
