After creating the book entry reference, we need to link it to the digital image on FamilySearch Books.  Do the following steps.


1. Go to the FamilySearch Books search at: [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/ https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/]<br>
1. Copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser. (yes, some are ridiculously long - copy it anyway)<br>
 
'''NOTE:''' Do not use the url displayed when using the red link in the FamilySearch Catalog and instead follow these directions. This is a redirect and will expire after several years and the link will break. You will know you have the incorrect URL if it has "redirection" in the URL.  Here is an example of an incorrect url that should not be used: <nowiki>https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/100736-redirection</nowiki><br>
 
2. Paste in the name of the book and do a search.<br>
 
3. From the list of results find the correct book and click on the link. <br>
 
4. Copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser. (yes, some are ridiculously long - copy it anyway)<br>


'''NOTE:''' A template was used previously for FamilySearch Books online (now changed to FamilySearch Digital Library). However, a change to the viewer has caused the template to no longer work.<br>
