Named after this first great spouse of Zeus, this Dewey-free library classification system was implemented in 2011?
Metis (mythology) Metis (Μῆτις, "wisdom," "skill," or "craft"), in ancient Greek religion, was a mythological character belonging to the Titan generation. Like several primordial figures, she was an Oceanid, in the sense that Metis was born of Oceanus and his sister Tethys, of an earlier age than Zeus and his siblings. Metis was the first great spouse of Zeus, and also his cousin. Zeus is himself titled "Mêtieta", "the wise counsellor," in the Homeric poems.
Dewey Decimal Classification The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system first published in the United States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It has been revised and expanded through 23 major editions, the latest issued in 2011, and has grown from a four-page pamphlet in 1876. It is also available in an abridged version suitable for smaller libraries. It is currently maintained by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), a non-profit cooperative that serves libraries. OCLC licenses access to an online version for catalogers called "WebDewey".
