Dictionaries
Dictionaries of subcategorization frames
The following dictionaries all list surface subcategorization frames (each with a different annotation scheme). They are also all available in electronic form from the publishers (not free).

LDOCE
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. Burnt Mill, Essex: Longman, 1978.
OALD
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English. Oxford: Oxford University Press, Fourth Edition, 1989. The third edition also had information on subcategorization frames, although in a different incompatible format. However, a partial version of the third edition (with this information) is available free online from the Oxford Text Archive.
Not exactly a dictionary, but other popular sources are:
Levin (1993)
Beth Levin. 1993. English Verb Classes and Alternations: A Preliminary Investigation. Chicago. Discusses linguistic distinctions (like unergative/unaccusative verbs, dative shift, etc., not made by the above dictionaries). The index of verbs is online.

SGML structured dictionaries
Cambridge International Dictionary of English and other products in SGML.
Lexical/morphological resources
Dictionary entries and tagged examples for 35 words.
