The four Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) user tasks are find, identify, select and obtain.

The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA, 2017) defines:

“ Find – To bring together information about one or more resources of interest by searching on any relevant criteria

Identify – To clearly understand the nature of the resources found and to distinguish between similar resources

Select – To determine the suitability of the resources found, and to be enabled to either accept or reject specific resources

Obtain – To access the content of the resource ” (p.15)
