AAQ: Events Between 1973-1981

Hello and thank you for using the Ask A Question service.

Your inquiry is: “What was going on economically, historically, politically, and in business during 1973-1981?”

This is a very broad inquiry and it is not possible for us to deliver a complete answer that will satisfy all of your possible needs via this service. We suggest is using a chronology if you want a broad overview of world events during this time period.

To search for a chronology, go to our homepage > select: Books & Audiovisuals (under the: Search for: header) > select: Basic Keyword (under the Search by: header). Enter the word chronology in the search box, and click the Search button. You will get 90+ hits with this search. You can narrow your search by linking chronology with words such as: business, economy, history, politics, science, Canada, etc. You will link terms by using AND (e.g., chronology AND Canada [Note: capitalization is not required] > this search will locate all titles with the words chronology and Canada in their records – which are presently 14).

Some generic titles that we can recommend include: Timelines of World History (Call #: D 11 T43 2006; Reference Collection), Chronology of World History (Call #: D 11 M44 1999 v. 4; Reference Collection), This Day in Business History: Great Corporate Tales, Commercial Milestones, Colorful Titans, Captivating Quotes, and Calamitous Blunders for Every Day of the Year (Call #: HC 51 F72 2006; Circulating Collection), and The Fitzhenry & Whiteside Book of Canadian Facts and Dates (Call #: FC 24 M94 2005; Reference Collection; greater Canadian content).

Thank you again for using the Ask A Question service. If you need more help, please use the service again or see the Information Desk in the Vera Bracken Library (Phone #: (403) 529-3867; Toll Free Phone #: 1 (866) 282-8394 (Ext. 3867)).
