Hi Miriam,
You could run a Find/Replace, something like this:

Find:  (=504  ..\$a)Bibliography:\s*(p.*)
* which is saying find a 504 field having "Bibliography" in subfield
$a, followed by a colon and any number of space characters, then
followed by a "p" and any number of other characters.  (you could get
more specific here specifying page number digits if you need to)

Replace:  $1Includes bibliographical references ($2).
* with "Use regular expressions" checked

I'm not able to try it out right now, so let me know if that works or
if you'd want a more specific version with digits or such.

cheers,
heidi
