How can I indicate in my bibliography that the reference has 500 pages in total, for example.
As I understand, the keyword "pages" in Bibtex refers to the specific page or page ranges.

With biblatex, you may add a pagetotal field to your .bib file.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{A01,
author = {Author, A.},
year = {2001},
title = {Alpha},
pagetotal = {999},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)

But what about without biblatex? I am using scribtex online compiler - and they don't support it yet... – Andriy Drozdyuk Apr 24 '11 at 19:01

@drozzy: Correct -- if (!) you decide to use biblatex, the syntax is different than that of traditional LaTeX/BibTeX. See here and here for more details about biblatex. – lockstep Apr 24 '11 at 19:02

@drozzy: Sadly, I don't know a "traditional" BibTeX style that supports "total pages". Maybe someone else does. – lockstep Apr 24 '11 at 19:06

Thanks, after looking around - it does not seem possible. I will give this a shot. – Andriy Drozdyuk Apr 24 '11 at 20:31

pagetotaldidn't worked for me. I'm using ugost2008 bibliography style andnumpagesfield worked like a charm in my case. – Gregory Kalabin May 14 '13 at 16:24ugost2008is a bibtex style bundle, not biblatex (which provides apagetotalfield with which its default styles deal). – henrique May 14 '13 at 16:33
