586 - Awards Note

Information about books or movies that have won awards can be very helpful to people looking for a good book or movie. The 586 tag--which may appear multiple times in a record-- includes notes about the awards associated with the cataloged item (often including nominations). 

The entire text of the note goes in subfield a and the first indicator is either a blank (which generates the label "Awards:") or a 0 if no label is to be generated. The second indicator is undefined. 

For an example of this tag look at Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead or Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall.
