A great all-around page for cataloging resources was created by Barbara Brooks, cataloger here at St. Kate’s. Have a look:
http://www.stkate.edu/library/techserv/tscat.html
While you’re at it, check out her authorities page as well:
http://www.stkate.edu/library/techserv/tsauth.html
For bibliographic records I prefer the online version:
Bibliographic Formats and
Standards (online version): http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/about/index.shtm
If
you really like having this in print, see Bibliographic Formats and
Standards (PDF version).
Other sources include
MARC Bibliographic Standards http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/

Bibliographic Data
http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdhome.html
