For MARC 21 I usually use OCLC Bibliographic Formats or the LOC MARC 21 page. http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/default.htm http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/

For AACR2, you could try Cataloger's Desktop but you have to pay for access. However, there is a free 30 day trial. http://www.loc.gov/cds/desktop/

The best source for AACR2 is the AACR2. If you cannot take it (the binder) out of class, see if your university has a subscription to cataloger's desktop (online version). I wanted an ereader version, but only have cataloger's desktop (and no thank you big binder!)

I think the loc marc links are a great resource, too. Much of the other books about cataloging are not helpful at all. I should write AACR2 for Dummies and RDA for Dummies, etc and make some money.

Try the Cataloguer's Reference Shelf at http://www.itsmarc.com/crs/crs.htm. It's a good source, with examples of all tags and a lot of decent supplemental information like country codes and languages. I've been using it for several years now.

There are oodles of YouTube videos and tutorials that I watch. Most are recorded presentations by career catalogers.

Will you be studying RDA as well? We spent maybe a week on AACR2 but always within the context of how RDA is the same/different.
