Koth, M. (2007). Music cataloging at Yale. <http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/music/musicat.htm
Probably the most extensively used resource in the music cataloging world, this page, put together by Michelle Koth at Yale University, provides a comprehensive resource for all aspects of music cataloging.
Though many of the included materials are specifically meant for Yale processes, many are useful to all catalogers. This list provides information for everything from call numbers to the names of instruments in many different languages, as well as links to many other resources that are helpful.
Three of the resources that I use most often from this site are the names of instruments in different languages, list of types of compositions for use in music uniform titles, and a handbook of examples for use in authority records by the NACO-Music Project.
