    Group: Cobus, Willie, Reggie, Anthony
    Sites: Nic Spaull and LCT

    Definition: Someone who provides an access point to curated information on a relevant/specific field.

    Pros
    Easy to navigate and see what the site/scholar is about.
    Information is easy to assimilate and sort through.

    Cons
    Layout, if its bad you notice it immediately but if its good its easy to read and follow the topic.
    Care should be taken not to make it too busy or difficult to follow. Some sites read like the classifieds page in a newspaper.
