* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', Harry will sometimes start doing this at the start of dangerous cases or when he encounters some creature or magic he's not very familiar with. This usually involves consulting [[MrExposition Bob the Skull]] in his lab, who usually knows a huge amount of information about most magical monsters. It's relatively rare for Bob to ''not'' provide a wealth of information, usually when it's either something to do with Heaven and Hell, or [[TheDreaded the necromancer Kemmler]].
* Literature/GiantsSeries: ''Inherit the Stars'', the first book in the series, basically uses this trope as its plot. A group of scientists are given a body and told to figure out who he was, where he came from, and how he could have been found on the Moon - in a spacesuit - when his body is fifty thousand years old. The story of how they figure out the answers to these questions is an excellent example of the scientific method in action: research, study, experimentation, right guesses, wrong guesses, arguments, expected discoveries, unexpected discoveries, one or two intuitive leaps, and a heaping helping of pure luck.
* In ''Literature/TheGirlFromTheMiraclesDistrict'', before she goes to Norway, Nikita has her half-brother Kosma do research on berserks and Norse gods. She also repeatedly sends Karma photos and data about the {{Red Shirt}}s she killed so that the tech genius can figure out who hired them.

* There's a lot of this in ''Literature/{{It}}''. After the Losers' Club gets together and they compare stories of having encountered the monster, Bill questions his dad about Derry's sewer system and goes to the library to read up on what kind of creature they might be dealing with. Mike brings his father's "Derry album" down to the Barrens so they can research the town's history (and after the events of 1958, he interviews several older Derry residents about what they saw during key tragic events). They excavate and build their underground clubhouse and turn it into a "smoke-hole," hoping they'll have a vision so they can personally see something that will help them defeat It. And so on.
* In ''Literature/SimpleComplications'' this is how Abigail contributes to both the ghost and coded documents plotlines.

It wasn't perfect, though, as they were still instances of outdated information and simply wrong conclusions.
