Hi wall! Can you communicate to the virtual wall of the new Eagle Course Registration/Information system (if the virtual wall indeed exist)?

Tell them that it’s not very convenient that the new system does not do a good job allowing students to search by the professors’ names. It’s helpful to search by course title, but sometimes students also want to know what courses a professor is teaching. I have to scroll through all the courses offered by the department, which takes FOREVER. It’s interesting to learn ab all the course offered, but this is not a very efficient system. ><

I reached out to my contact at the Office of Student Services. They will let the managers know how frustrating this is, and that this would be a very useful feature. The older public version bit.ly/OldCourseTool of the course listings is searchable by faculty in the keywords box. You could find the classes there and then register on the new system.

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.
