Start with the encyclopedia.
Look what book the encyclopedia is referencing.
Find that book's card in the card catalog.
Take the card to the shelves and find the book.
Read the entire book to find the passage you want.
Reference that passage in your report.
God help you if the encyclopedia references an article on microfiche.

Even then people thought it was too complex to bother with. I understood that shit by age 10. Mostly because it was the fastest way to free entertainment (books).
