http://www.writers.net/ - General information on writing and publishing. It seems like their sections on agents and publishing are pretty good, especially because you can search for agents who work in a particular genre. The only thing to watch out for is that, since agents list themselves on the site, not all of them are necessarily trustworthy. There are also a number of articles about different aspects of publishing.

http://www.pw.org/ - General information on writing and publishing

http://aaronline.org/ - The Association of Authors' Representatives; you can search the database for different agents.

http://www.spannet.org/glossary_index.htm - SPAN, the Small Publisher's Association of North America, hosts a glossary which can hold value for any author looking to learn more about the publishing world:

http://anotherealm.com/prededitors/peala.htm - This is probably the most expansive sites that I've found and just follow any of the links at the top of the page. Everythings organized alphabetically too so things are fairly easy to find.
