Angus,
I undoubtedly have the syntax wrong. I have a file separate from book.lyx
which is called book.bib. In the latter file I have entries such as this
one:
@book{Cant97,
author = {Canter, L.W.},
year = {1977},
title = {Environmental Impact Assessment},
publisher = {McGraw-Hill Book Company},
address = {New York}
}
In the .lyx file I used Insert -> Citation to produce something like this:
(Cant97) also includes a chapter discussing public involvement in the
overall EIA process that considers advantages and disadvantages of involving
the public and includes a model for such participation.
The "Cant97" is actually in a grey block with square brackets and was
selected from the dialog box that displays all entries in book.bib.

I've taken the entries from within the document itself.
Thanks,
