Joan Winearls was hired as the first professional librarian at the university map library in 1964. She was in charge of developing and managing the collection for geography and the University of Toronto library. There were not sufficient training opportunities in Canada for librarians during that time, so she traveled and visited eight Eastern American map collections to gain knowledge on how to create a good map library.
