'''Contents notes''' (field 505) provide additional access to individual works in collections, such as to individual short stories in books or to individual songs in sound recordings. Catalogers are recommended, but not required, to use enhanced contents notes.  See [http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/5xx/505.shtm Bibliographic Standards and Formats] for examples.  If you are adding or enhancing a contents note in the CCS database, it is also good practice to do the same with the OCLC record in Connexion, to benefit users internationally. OCLC users with Full cataloging authorization are able to do this without Enhance authorization.
 
Add and enhance '''contents notes''' whenever possible to improve patron access.
