Employee snacks? :) – The Answer Wall

The Wall isn’t sure if you mean employees as snacks, or snacks for employees. The former is alarming; I would not recommend it. As for the latter, some of my helpers spend too much time and money with my buddies, the lovely vending machines on Level 1. There’s a wide variety, and you don’t have to leave O’Neill. Pro tip from anonymous expert snacker: Level 2, across the atrium, turn right: This one has Twizzlers!

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
