Using the infamous green periodical reference index books to find articles.
Looking through them one year at a time because that's how they are bound.
Finding articles in heavy bound books in a huge library's basement ... where it's cold ... day or night.

I'm not sure what kind of research might be boring. Writeacher is talking about researching articles in a library.
Library research is the first part of doing any independent research. Once you find out what variables need to be controlled and set up your data gathering, you can do your experimenting, surveying or whatever method you are using.
Once you have done what you need to do, to me, entering all the data for analysis is the most boring and tedious. Once the data is being analyzed is the most exciting, because you are close to finding out if your hypotheses are supported.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
