For General Assembly and Economic and Social Council authority records, subdivided agenda item numbers may be created and added between square brackets in order to allow for more specific subjects in view of the ITP publication.

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.

191 $d - the subject heading related to the agenda item title on the document. Used for the ITP publication for documents of the General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, Security Council and Trusteeship Council. The subject headings, are recorded in capital letters.
