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.

at the end of each section.
Tag of the Month (Follett)

Features a different MARC tag each month. Gives a brief description of all the major tags,
explains first and second indicators for each tag, and gives examples. Also includes sample
MARC records for different types of materials. A good way to become familiar
with what a good MARC record looks like.
