If you were really lucky (like me) you had an encyclopedia collection at home. Once you've selected a planet, you can then go to the library and checkout books related to the planet. First you would reference an encyclopedia to learn basic information about the solar system to find out what planets are in it with a summary of each one. As an example, imagine you are in elementary school and you need to do a report on one of the planets in the solar system.
If needed, you can use an encyclopedia as a jumping off point to gather basic information on the subject and then using that intelligence gathering as a reference for the library to then select which books you need to check out. Back in the day this mainly involved going to either the school or city library (or both) and then checking out books related to the subject.
We've all needed to do research for school related projects and it required us going out and getting as much information on the subject as possible to then write a report for.
