5XX's Notes

        500     General note

        504     Bibliography note

        505     Contents note

The 5XX field contains all the many possibilities for notes as laid out in the AACR2 rules. This includes general notes (500), bibliographies (504), contents (505), scale for maps (507), performers (511), computer system requirements (538), and summary (520). Each of these fields have indicators and subfield codes that are specific to the information in each particular note, so a manual with that information is critical in getting all of these notes entered correctly.

In this MARC example there is only one note. This particular note tells that a bibliography and an index are included in the book. The only subfield needed is used to indicate the bibliography statement.
