Meow wall! – The Answer Wall

I know that cats Meow, dogs barks, but what noises do unicorn make? Also, is it okay that I always feel like a werewolf during full moon? Oh, and do you think BC will mandate a 14 days quarantine for all students given the increasing COVID cases – that would be a horror movie to my mental health lol.

I’ll take your questions one at a time. Unicorns: Would anyone know if they heard one? This book may have clues: bit.ly/BCL-unicorns. Werewolf: As long as you only FEEL like a werewolf, we’ll all be fine. Please don’t bite anyone. Quarantine: Unless numbers spin really out of control I assume BC will stick with the tried and true: quarantining known cases and contacts. The positivity rate at BC is twice what it had been, but is currently (last week) 0.8%. Middlesex County rate for the last two weeks is 2.8%.

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.
