Element Name

Note

A "catch-all" field for additional information that cannot be entered in other elements.

For any item type, information that goes into the note field can come from any part of the item including:

Parts:: 1. Note type -- drop-down menu
2. Note -- text field
Repeatable?: Yes - clicking 'Add' repeats all field parts; there should only be two note fields (one for display content and one for non-displaying content)

Guideline	Example
Include any important information about the item that does not fit in other fields	The original contains a silk fiber sample.
Put information in quotations when it is taken directly from the source	"Issued May 11, 1918."
Include Roman numerals from the title	"Vol. IV."
Include notes about non-standard or inconsistent page numbers, missing pages, or other oddities	Missing pages 15 and 16.
It might be useful to include background information that relates to the item but is not directly important enough to be put in the content description	The chautauqua movement was a "popular U.S. movement in adult education that flourished during the late 19th and early 20th centuries....At first entirely religious in nature, the program was gradually broadened to include general education, recreation, and popular entertainment" - from Encyclopedia Britannica.
