I’m so sad 😭 The campus is sooooooooooo empty What should I do ? ~ I’ve been crying for at least 4 hrs everyday since BC switched classes online…… Btw, can you ask the facility ppl to at least not lock Gasson so I have a place to study and find some closure ?

I’m so sorry. This is hard for everyone, including us. I’d much rather have you all dropping by and saying hello in O’Neill Library. For the practical issue of a place to study: I’ve heard Campion is still open.

But I want Gasson, pls ><

I know, it’s hard. It’s a time of sacrifices. I’ll have my assistants try to find out which other buildings are open as alternatives.

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.
