Hello List,

the many postings and questions about bibtex in the last time made me
curious. So now I started to learn what it is, and I'm building my own
Bibtex-database.

But I don't like the numbers ([1] in .dvi-output) for citing an entry of
the bibtex-catalogue, I'd rather like to have something like [OLO] in
the Text to take reference to a book written by Rainer Oloff. I know
that it's possible with the "normal" Bibliography-environment, but is
there a way to do this in Bibtex, too?

You need to find (or write) a BibTeX style file that fits your purposes, then you can select it from the bibliography button. You can also sometimes use preamble commands to modify how the style is implemented - Jurabib has an impressive range. If you don't specify a style, you get BibeX Plain, which uses the bracketed numbers for references.
