New Library Display - 45th Anniversary of OPEC Oil Embargo

The Lewis J. Ort Library is pleased to present a new display, located on the 2nd floor of the library, highlighting the 45th anniversary of the OPEC oil embargo of several Western countries, including the United States, the Netherlands, and Denmark. The embargo lasted from October 1973 through March 1974. The embargo led to improved fuel economies of vehicles, the federal speed limit of 55 mph, and the development of the Department of Energy.

The display highlights the history of the OPEC oil embargo and resources the library has on this topic.

The display will be up through March 2019.
