I am planning to use google, wikipedia, and my encarta subscription that comes with my internet subscription.
We also have a full set of World Books that are about 20 years old, but most of the info doesn't change that much.

We're going to use wikipedia, and there are key words in the Preparing... guide to type in the search so it should work fine. However, if you are wanting a good solid general encyclopedia any of the DK or Kingfisher ones are good. Are you getting as excited as I am to start Preparing?!? It's just around the corner...

Thank you for the suggestions. I hadn't thought about using Wikipedia. What a great suggestion. I do own KFHE and a World Book set so I think we will be set. This will be our first year using Heart of Dakota products and I am excited to see what the year brings forth. We will be using Preparing... with our 4th grader, BLHFHG with our 2nd grader, LHFHG at 1/2 speed with our Kindergarten dd, and then we will have a 3 year old tagging along. I had thought about adding in LHTH, but I think I will have my plate more than full accomplishing these three programs along with working with an older student in another set of studies.
I really appreciate the help and information I have gleaned from these boards.
The Preparing... guide suggests using wikipedia, or another computer CD ROM, or a hardback encyclopedia. So, all of those will work. We plan on using wikipedia here, as I want my kiddos to learn to search and skim with an online resource. We'll probably do a couple of the topics from the hardback Kingfisher we have too, so my son can learn to use the index well also!
