'''Contents notes''' (field 505) provide additional access to material contained inside books or 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.


==Special considerations==
;Contents notes are required for the following:
Serial titles new to the CCS database that:
*Short story collections by multiple authors
* Fall into category A or the exceptions to category B
*Plays
* Have fewer than 100 items per volume to list in a contents note
*Literary collections (two or more forms of literature)
* Are published less often than quarterly
*Fairy tales
should be cataloged as monographs with contents notes. Changed serial titles requiring new records in the CCS database are considered "new" titles. Imported records must comply with these guidelines.
*Song titles (sheet music or Music CDs)
*Supreme Court cases
*Collective biographies


==Procedures==
;Contents notes are not required for the following:
Complete contents notes (first indicator "0") are required for works containing up to 100 titles, but are optional for works with more than 100 titles.
*Poetry
*Speeches ''(EXCEPTION: Representative American Speeches)'' 
*Essays ''(EXCEPTION: Best American Essays)'' 
*Excerpts
*Complete works
*Myths
*Fake-books 
*Encyclopedic reference works
*Miscellaneous writings— quotations, letters, anecdotes
*Chapter headings


==Indexing==
Basic contents notes are indexed only in the general keyword index.


Enhanced contents notes are indexed in both the general keyword index and in the appropriate specific keyword indexes: &Dagger;t in the title keyword index and &Dagger;r in the author keyword index.
