191 $c - the agenda item title. The same UNBIS rules that apply to recording numerals, punctuation, capitalization and spacing in the title proper of the bibliographic record (field 245) should also be applied when recording the agenda item title in 191 $c. However, while in UNBIS practice the title proper of the bibliographic record does not end with a period, the agenda item title always ends with a period.

Subfield $c is not used for Security Council documents.

Example:

Agenda item title on document: Decisions taken by the tenth and eleventh sessions of the Committee on Sustainable Energy - Matters for consideration by the ad hoc group of experts

191 $c Decisions taken by the 10th and 11th sessions of the Committee on Sustainable Energy : matters for consideration by the ad hoc group of experts.
