well, i stopped by the cellar, had some dinner, and walked home and by the time i made it to my apt. there was a mustang, spinning wildly way to close to a truck, which i notices after a bit more time wasn't mine, i waved for him to stop and tried to help him get out, but there is 1/2 inch of ice on the parking lot and immediate road, so there really was no hope. we made maybe 6ft of progress and that was all until it just started sliding back. so i helped him push it back out of the obvious lane of traffic, though i would have tried to push it a few more feet back. if its like that tomorrow morn, i won't be walking to campus, i'm not interested in more bruises or bloodied knees.

In addition, tools from management science such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) can be used to explore the data for patterns. Therefore, a more complex definition is: Bibliomining is the combination of data mining, bibliometrics, statistics, and reporting tools used to extract patterns of behavior-based artifacts from library systems.
