Hello - I am using Preparing next year with DD9. I see that the manual uses Wikipedia for a lot of the info searching. Does anyone else recommend any other online references? Wikipedia, IMO, is a little too over her head (and sometimes mine!). Thanks!

Hi Nicole,
I found Wikipedia to be a bit over our heads too in some topics and I now have found my local library network has membership to britannica online that I can use by logging in with my library id. Might be worth contacting your local library and see if they have anything like that.

Hth,
Corrie

I haven`t tried it out yet. But I bought World Book encyclopedia DVD-ROM`s. I`m hoping it`ll be enough.

Corrie thank you for mentioning the library. I looked and our library allows access to all of the World Book online Reference Center if you have a library card. This is going to help so much this year as my ds researches all the places in RTR. I can access World Book Student where the articles are much easier to follow. He had gotten better sorting through Wikipedia, but it was often a source of frustration for him.

Thanks for the info on online reference sources through the library. Ours has WorldBook access as well! Very helpful!

Thank you soo very much for posting this!! It is so helpful!

Yes, thankyou everyone!! I will ask my library, and if they don't, then I might have to invest in something similar for ourselves as I think Wikipedia is just going to be too 'over-her-head'

I checked out my library on-line and they have world book and world book kids. Guess I didn't need to buy it . Ah well, good to have on hand I guess.
