Wording isn't prescribed, nor is any reference(!) made to approaches between recording footnotes and recording bibliographies. Judging from RDA's very general guidelines, such distinctions may be made at the local or community level. > Will most of us be willing to give up the handy: > > 504 $aIncludes bibliograhic references (p. 859-910) and index.?

Quoting from the LCPS 7.16.1.3 (essentially unchanged from LCRI 2.7B18): BIBLIOGRAPHY NOTE If a publication contains bibliographical citations in any form, generally use the following note: 504 ## $a Includes bibliographical references. If there is a single bibliography, add the foliation/pagination to the note. 504 ## $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 310-325). With respect to bibliographic citations and bibliographies, interpret the phrase "bibliographical references" to include all kinds of resources, including electronic resources; do not give any special treatment to, or provide special mention of, the latter if using this general bibliographical reference note. INDEXES If the publication contains an index to its own contents, use one of the following notes: 500 ## $a Includes index. 500 ## $a Includes indexes. The bibliography note and the index note may be combined. 504 ## $a Includes bibliographical references and index. > Doesn't spelling out pages here depart from practice for citations in the > scholarly community? Probably, judging from the few popular style manual instructions I know. > This would presumably return "Includes index" to 500? You mean when also recording the presence of a bibliography? RDA couldn't care less if the bibliography and index notes are in the same field or not, just as long as they fall under the umbrella of "7.16 Supplementary Content." Outside of LC's interpretation, MARC practice, as you know, allows for encoding the combination in a single field: "When the presence of an index is also mentioned in a bibliography note, field 504 is used" (<http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd504.html>). -- Mark K.
