How to Set up an Oscillator For Simple Frequency Generation

How to Set up an Oscillator For Simple Frequency Generation

I ordered a bunch of these 8mhz crystals: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PSXEQ4/ (they sent me 13mhz instead though, no big deal...)
I just got them to experiment with.
I assumed they only need a current running through them to "vibrate" at the given frequency. Testing with the frequency part of my meter shows nothing, however.
I've searched for a simple tutorial on using these, but can find none. Perhaps I'm searching wrong terms?
And not to be unclear: I Just need a little guidance on how to set up an oscillator for simple frequency generation :D
