I actually remember going into the library and looking up the book I wanted in the catalog. Or doing a paper by using our encyclopedia set!
The good ole card catalog and using a Encyclopedia Brittanica set that was likely bought by my parents from a door to door salesman. The physical dictionary used to be a thing too that were couldn't do without. Those were the days.
