Fields 500-587 contain textual notes. Each note is entered
in a separate 5XX field. General notes are recorded in field
500 (General Note). Information that appears in the notes area
on printed output or on machine display is not always recorded
in a specially defined 5XX note field. Data is sometimes
carried in a structured form in another field (e.g., field 307
(Hours, Etc.)).
