Abstract
The article reviews interdisciplinary problems as a versatile phenomenon. Interdisciplinary is more often understood as interaction between different scientific disciplines, which can range from simple exchange of ideas to organization of joint research activities. Taking into account this understanding of the interdisciplinary phenomenon, the prerequisites for joint scientific activity between library specialists and the medical (biologists) community are considered. An attempt is made to analyze the possibilities of the library scientific community to participate in such studies. In the practical part, the Russian biomedical publications with the library employees’ participation, presented on the e Library platform, are analyzed: an array of interdisciplinary articles on this subject is revealed, the analysis of the sample by year, participation of authors, libraries, disciplines, scientometric indicators is carried out. The results made it possible to understand the features of the tasks and the specifics of research strategies. Suggestions on possible trends of interdisciplinary researches development in the libraries of Russia are formulated. Conditions, contributing to increasing the chances of library specialists to be included in interdisciplinary researches are stated based on the Reference and Bibliographic Department of SB RAS experience. Foreign interdisciplinary publications are considered by referring to reviews on this issue. The studied articles from authoritative journals on informatics and librarianship testifies to the number growth publications in biomedical disciplines prepared with participation of library specialists. A review publication in the Journal of the Medical Library Association covering interdisciplinary publications with participation of library professionals for 2008 – 2017 served as a model for the analysis. The authors concluded that the main topics of cooperation between librarians and tutors were related to the assessment of medical and social aspects of patients’ health, the search for medical information and clinical decisionmaking.

Summary
Обзорно представлены проблемы междисциплинарности как многогранного явления. Под междисциплинарностью чаще всего понимается взаимодействие между различными научными дисциплинами, которое может варьироваться от простого обмена идеями до организации совместной научно- исследовательской деятельности. The Russian biomedical publications with the library employees’ participation, presented on the e-L ibrary platform, are analyzed: an array of interdisciplinary articles on this subject is revealed, the analysis of the sample by year, participation of authors, libraries, disciplines, scientometric indicators is carried out. The results made it possible to understand the features of the tasks and the specifics of research strategies. Образцом для анализа послужил обзор в Journal of the Medical Library Association, охватывающий совместные работы библиотекарей и преподавателей в области здравоохранения за 2008–2017 годы («Collaboration between health sciences librarians and faculty as reflected by articles published»). Публикации медико-б иологической тематики, подготовленные библиотечными работниками самостоятельно, не рассматривались
