Abidina:
Zooplankton is a broad topic, but you could start going through this link for in-depth studies and identification:

for freshwater crustacean:

for rotifers, cladocerans, copepods, the best one is: http://www.mdfrc.org.au/bugguide/resources/3-1995-Shiel-Guide_to_rotifers_cladocerans_copepods.pdf:
OK,
freshwater or marine? Basic or complete? what continent? I suppose, you mean Rotifers, Copepods, and Cladocerans. If serious, so use Kutikova for Rotifers all-world, but it is in Russian. Manuilova for Cladocerans, Smirnov for Chidorids etc. Lang for Harpacticoids (Lang K. Monographie der Harpacticiden. – Stockholm : Nordiska Bokhandeln, 1948. – Vol. 1-2. – 1682 p.) but is it necessaryBetter to use taxonomical guides as a lot of species can inhabit both bottom and pelagic biotopes, esp in fresh-water. For.i. For fresh-waters harpacticoids inhabit bottom, and in sea littoral and plankton! Therefore, please, precise the group and biotope
For any case I'm attaching Kutikova id. key for high saprobic conditions.
Say more precisely what you need and I will help.
I have found by looking and researching collages and hierarchical data sets of Zoo Plankton to be found in three different locations; http://flocculate.missouristate.edu/zooplankton/ & http://marinebio.org/oceans/zooplankton/index.aspx & Pictures of actual live specimens: http://georgiaseagrant.uga.edu/images/uploads/media/Zooplankton_key.pdf I hope this helps !!
this online guide to freshwater zooplankton is not bad:
http://cfb.unh.edu/cfbkey/html/
For marine zooplankton and phytoplankton:
This is a general black & white guide that works for many species in most ocean environments -- http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/blackn/UCLAplanktonIDguide.pdf
This one has nice microscopy photos of zooplankton, again from southern California USA (Pacific) -- https://scripps.ucsd.edu/zooplanktonguide/
For marine zooplankton of the north atlantic:
