Understanding MARC Bibliographic
http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/
When I first started copy-cataloging, the only resources I had were a copy of Understanding MARC Bibliographic and a MARC flip chart from Follett. Understanding MARC Bibliographic is still the best introduction to MARC that I've seen. [Charles]

ABLE Dewey Tutorial
http://www.lili.org/forlibs/ce/able/course7/01index.htm
This online tutorial is based on the 13th edition of the Abridged Dewey Decimal Classification. Unfortunately, the tutorial refers to specific page numbers in the 13th edition -- page numbers that don't match the 14th ed. Even though the tutorial needs to be updated, it is still possible to follow along and get an introduction to the structure of the DDC and how to build numbers. Contact the IMC to borrow a copy of the 14th edition.

This is a fairly active list -- 20 or messages a day, so if you miss a few days, the messages pile up. If you're really interested in cataloging, this listserv is a must. It covers a wide range of cataloging and classification issues, both theory and practical aspects. Sometimes vigorous discussions on things only catalogers could care about, such as use of the serial comma, or the proper spelling of the word catalog (vs. catalogue).
