Research is an important part of part of doing and getting palaeontological reconstruction as right as it can be or of bolstering your own notions. Be sure to practice your research skills on the Internet (useful, hopefully generic enough, links: www.virtualchase.com/quality/c… , www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingL… , www.library.jhu.edu/researchhe… ) and in libraries.
If you have a Public University near you ask at their library what services the general public can access there.
