It is recommened that a person wishing to become a Buddhist takes advantage of their local Buddhist Centre. This is so that they can get the full benefits of teachings, meditations and a good Buddhist community.
At a Buddhist Centre there is also an abudance of information, books and general Buddhist related things that can help you get started in your practice.
It is possible to simply pick up a book or meditate at home but i would say it is much more beneficial to be in the company of other Buddhists and to be in a Buddhist environment.
To become a Buddhist a person first 'takes refuge'. This is a ceremony that can take place at your local Buddhist Centre.
Here is a website with some information on taking refuge:
