It looks like you should be using biblatex, which you can find here:

http://dante.ctan.org/indexes/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/

The biblatex documentation is extensive and will explain what you need
to do to get full citations, ibid, and loc cit. (It comes with a
collection of styles, which may be all you need. Others have
contributed biblatex styles; you can find many of these here:

http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/

Although LyX doesn't natively support biblatex, you can get it working
by following instructions on this page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

The only caution with all of this is that biblatex is a work in
progress, but many (including myself) have used it successfully.
