I've done a search here on the forum and I just don't understand how to implement a Voltage Controlled Current Source. How would I do so in a circuit such as the one pictured in the link below?

Have a look at:

and:

I already saw these links in my search before I posted this question. The links don't help, because I'm unable to see the circuit from which they came. Essentially, I have nothing to translate from, so I can't interpret the meaning.

I don't understand your statement:

"The links don't help, because I'm unable to see the circuit from which they came."

This:

didn't come from some higher level circuit. It wasn't snipped out of some larger circuit.

It is the circuit. It was set up to explain how to use the CL CCCs and CCVS devices.

The links I posted point to examples which then point to circuits to which the associated explanations apply.

For instance this comment:

https://www.circuitlab.com/forums/support/topic/x27frca8/controlled-sources/#comment_2569

explains exactly what the parameters are that you see when you double click on the CCVS or CCCS component in the Editor.

If you then go to the example that comment points to:

and then read the comments on that page, particularly this one:

https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/zvz399/how-to-use-the-cccs-and-ccvs-elements/#comment_6147

and then open the schematic and play with it, that is it: a complete explanation of how to use the CL CCCS and CCVS devices.

Job done.
