my first suggestion here is to find the files btxdoc.dvi & btxhak.dvi, on my
system the are in /usr/share/texmf/doc/bibtex/base/. you should at least
read btxdoc.dvi. Assuming you are on Unix you may find like I did that
xemacs/emacs bibtex-mode is very useful while creating your bibs. 

You may find it helpful to go to the lyx tutorial (Help->Tutorial) and read
sections 3.6 and 5.2.5 ... not sure if you have to follow the whole tutorial
up to that point for it to be useful though.
(Help->Extended Features) -> (Navigate->Supplemental tools->Preping a
bib...)seems SLIGHTLY more useful.

The following may help, there are example bib files and list of other links.
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/BibTeX

Sorry, if there is nothing specific here, I get the impression you need to
start with some of the fundamentals, and btxdoc.dvi & Help->Extended
Features are not that long.


Note: Help->Extended Features indicates 
"Then, at the very end of your document, select Insert->Lists & TOC->BibTeX
Reference."
but you may do that where ever in your document you want to see your
references listed, but in only one place in the document).
