'''Aggregator Websites:''' The definition of an aggregator website is one that gathers information from other online sources to present on their own website for reuse. The goal of the Wiki is to connect patrons directly to online databases and images as opposed to another website that contains a link to the database, such as an aggregator website. Links to aggregator websites that are a duplication of content already in the Wiki will not be allowed. Aggregator websites with minimal information for a locality will also not be allowed. Final decisions regarding the inclusion of aggregator websites will be at the discretion of the Wiki Executive Council.
