Why use multiple databases?

Different databases focus on different areas of the literature, particularly so in Physical Therapy.  Two recent studies of the physical therapy literature [Michaleff, ZA, et al. "CENTRAL, PEDro, PubMed, and EMBASE are the Most Comprehensive Databases Indexing Randomized Controlled Trials of Physical Therapy Interventions." Physical Therapy, 91 (2), February, 2011, pp. 190-197 and Fell, DW, et al. "Mapping the Core Journals of the Physical Therapy Literature."  J Med Libr Assoc, 99 (3), July, 2011, pp. 202-207] address coverage of the physical therapy literature in a number of databases and point to the need to use multiple databases for, "comprehensive coverage of the physical therapy discipline. "(Fell, et al., p. 202)
