I believe the answer is:

refer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turn' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'information in two directions?' is the wordplay.
'two directions?' can mean two replacements for 'direction'.
'information in' becomes 'ref' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'direction' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'direction' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation for right).
'ref'+'e'+'r'='REFER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refer that I've seen before include "Bring up" , "Pass" , "Relate" , "Allude (to something)" , "Make allusion, or turn to for information" .)
