Limiting Your  Search to Items in the Kansas City Library
WebVoyage contains books held by all the DeVry libraries around the country.  Only rarely  will we be able to obtain books from other campuses in time to meet your needs, so we recommend you limit your search to items held in the Kansas City DeVry library.  To do so:
  • Click Limits box  (find it by scrolling to the far right of the screen)
  • In the Location box, highlight Kansas City
  • Click Set Limits (scroll to bottom of screen)
The Limit feature lasts only for the duration of your time online.  If you log off, next time you log on you must set the Limits again.
Other Limit Information
At present, the only other Limit besides Location that works effectively is the Date limit, which lets you search for books published during particular years. Ignore the other Search Limits boxes for now.

Best Bet for Searching Kansas City Items:  Use the Builder Search Screen
The "limits" feature does not work with all search screens.  If you are limiting your search to Kansas City items, we recommend you use the BUILDER SEARCH screen.
