Hey wall! What’s your favorite color? I like the color pink ~ and can you don’t change my post to other colors? <3

I’ll leave this one pink, but I like variety (they say it’s the spice of life), and I don’t have any way of knowing who’s posting what, so I’ll keep selecting a variety.

Previous PostPrevious If every drop of tear worth one dollar, I would be a billionaire now ever since BC went online…… We should invent something that can generate power with tears 😭, the environment will appreciate it!
Next PostNext Hey wall! Don’t you think that we should free everyone who’s locked up in the state hospitals and jails against their wills during this pandemic? The state is endangering their health and safety by locking ppl in institutions during this challenging time….. So grateful to be staying on this safe campus :)

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.
