Abstract:	This paper investigates the problem of searching literature in a multidisciplinary environment. It is found that much relevant literature is not found because other disciplines use a different terminology, different units, or slightly different (but related) concepts. The paper suggests some approaches to enhance interdisciplinary understanding and improve exchange of ideas and literature.
