* How did ppl before information age do self studies and researches on a subject when there is not google, guides and indices maintained by an online community, and especially when they dont have access to tutors and experts who are proficient in the areas? For example if one wanted to learn Latin or French by himself in 1900s. Or when someone who wanted to learn maths or history by himself. How does he know what to read, how to practise and apply the skills and knowledge etc..

Prior to the Internet and search engines, people had these things called books. You could purchase a book from a book store, or borrow a book from a library. You would then have to read the entirety of the book, or look in the books index for a certain topic within that book.
