What is a burette clamp and how is it used?

It's used for clamping a buret, of course. I can actually think of three distinct pieces of equipment that could reasonably be called a "buret clamp", and I'm not certain which of them you mean. One of them is a pinch clamp used to clamp the outflow tube (a rubber or plastic tube from the bottom of certain types of burets). Another one is sometimes called a tube clamp, and is a piece of hardware used to secure a glass tube of some kind (such as a buret, but also a test tube or parts of a vacuum manifold) to a metal stand or framework. Finally, there's a specialized spring-loaded piece of hardware used specifically for burets, which holds and supports them in two places on the tube (the tube clamp clamps onto the buret in a single location on the tube).
