Information:
The Awards Note (586 tag) of the MARC 21
bibliographic record contains information
pertaining to any awards given, or special
distinction accorded to, a particular item. It may
be in the form of a brief statement formulated by
the cataloger or a quotation taken directly from
the piece. This information is useful as a
selection aid for parents and teachers who desire
books of outstanding quality for children. It is
also useful for the student who would like to
examine a number of items that have received the
same award to determine common characteristics of
award-winning writing and artistry.
In AACR2 the 586 tag falls under the category of
general notes (rule X.7B, X representing chapters
1-12, depending upon the format.) RDA provides
instructions on recording information on awards in
7.28.1.3 stating to record information if it is considered
important for identification or selection of the resource.
