MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data: 506: Restrictions on Access Note (Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress)

For published works, this field contains information on limited distribution. For continuing resources, the restrictions must apply to all issues.

If a note merely indicates the intended audience of a publication and does not imply restrictions on access, it is recorded in field 521 (Target Audience Note.) Terms governing the use of materials after access has been allowed are recorded in field 540 (Terms Governing Use and Reproduction).
