It will take some time to search and skim the interesting sources you find, but take notes while you search. A periodicals room in a library holds a lot of potential paper sources, some older on microfilm and others just a year old. You can find find magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals in the periodicals room. In a reference room you will find a bunch of potential sources. There are biographies, bibliographies and indexes to give you a idea of other sources of information that you can reference.
