Multidisciplinary databases contain articles and other content across a variety of disciplines which means it's less specialized but good starting points for locating articles. Think of them as the "one-stop shopping" sources of the database world. You can find articles ranging from business to science to the arts.

They are useful when you're doing research in a specific field or discipline. You can compare them to visiting a doctor who specializes in one type of medicine and has extensive and deep knowledge about it.
