FamilySearch Books for on the County Sandbox Page Instructions FamilySearch Digital Library Redirection 1. On the sandbox page for the current county, look for books in the following areas: Biography, Land, Local History, Probate. 2.Edit source for that section, Find the book that need an updated link. It may look something like this with a Redirection in the URL: 3. Look at the code around the library/books link, and you will find the title of the book. (NOTE: if the book title is not intuitive, you may have to "Show preview" for the page, and see if you can find it in the surrounding text) Example:

4. Go to the FamilySearch Digital Library and search for the title of the book. 5. If the correct book appears in the search results, click on the link and it will take you to the online listing we have for that book.

Note: Occasionally the title of the book listed on the Wiki page does not bring up the book entry on the FamilySearch Digital Library site. In this case, you may have to get creative by searching for a particular word or series of words instead of the whole title. If you are not able to find the book after searching for a bit, please do a quick search on Google. If you are still unable to find a listing for the book, delete it. 6. If the URL for the book you are looking for in the FamilySearch Digital Library has the word

"redirection" you need to find the correct URL from the Digital Library without the "redirection". The following is an example from a redirection page in FamilySearch Digital Library:

URL EXAMPLE: https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/389499-redirection History of Wright County, Iowa, its peoples, industries and institutions Title No: historyofwrightc01bird Creator: Birdsall, B. P., ed 7. Copy the Title Number. It may be words or numbers, but copy the title number. 8. Go to the Books Search screen or home page at: FamilySearch Digital Library 9. In the search line, paste the Title Number that you copied, and click Enter or Search. A Search Result screen will open, with your book first on the page. Click on the Title link, and you are back at the first book screen. The difference will be in the URL at the top of the page. The "Redirect" will be replaced with the full and correct URL. This is the URL that you will use for the book link. 10. Back on the Sandbox page, put the book listing as is currently being use.

FamilySearch Digital Library Books 1. On the sandbox page for the current county, look for books in the following areas: Biography, Land, Local History, Probate. 2. On the left-hand side of the Digital Library page for that book, you will usually see a picture either of the cover of the book or a page of the book. Look underneath that picture, and you should see a link that says "View All Pages ### pages".

If you do see the "View All Pages ### pages", skip to the next step. If you do not see a link to view the pages of the book, and instead you see a phrase "Due to copyright restrictions, this book cannot be viewed online". As our object is to list Books that are online, remove the listing for this book. This instruction May Well Change to Keep the book with a link to World Cat. But for Iowa sandbox, remove the listing for the book.

3. About half the time you will be able to get all the information you need for the book listing from the FamilySearch Digital Library page. But sometimes, the page is the front of the book with no information on it. Under the picture of the book, on the left side of the page, "View All Pages". This will open the book on a new tab. Click on the right arrow to move forward in the book. Go to the Title Page. Increase the Zoom until you can read the words. The information found on the Title Page will have all the info needed for the book listing on the Sandbox page. DONOT Use the URL from this screen. Use the URL from the main book page, with the picture of the book on the left side of the page and info on the right side of the page. 4. Save changes, and with Summary code as Digital book, begin again at step 1. 5. Use the URL with the new, FamilySearch Digital Library URL. If there were listings already on the sandbox area that are for Ancestry.com or Internet Archives or Google book, please add them to the book listing, after the FamilySearch Digital Library listing.
