A similar restriction may also apply to a limited number of [[Online books#Family History Books| online books]] which are in the FamilySearch Digital Library, (accessible both through the FamilySearch catalogue and by searching in the FamilySearch Digital Library).
There appear to be at least five different types of restriction wordingseen by signed in, non-LDS church members either currently, or in the past:
*"Sign in to Familysearch.org as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".
:Note: It appears to be the practice that a LDS church member will sign you in at a FamilySearch Centre in this circumstance.<ref>Linda. [https://getsatisfaction.com/familysearch/topics/viewing-restricted-images-at-fhc-by-non-members#reply_19730362 Viewing restricted images at FHC by non-members] ''Family Search Feedback Forum'' 31 August 2018. Retrieved 1 September 2018.</ref> This wording has not yet been seen on India related digitised microfilms, but if it appears, discuss with you local FamilySearch Centre, whether there will be a Centre volunteer available, who is a LDS church member, who can sign in on your behalf. Note: Now apparently withdrawn, see below.
*"Sign in to Familysearch.org as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Access the site at a family history center".
*"Sign in to Familysearch.org as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Access the site at a family history center. Access the site at a FamilySearch affiliate library."
:'''Update c 22 October 2019'''. All references to "Sign in to Familysearch.org as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" appear to have been removed and , to be replaced by the following wording now appears for signed in, non-LDS church members: "You may be able to view this image by visiting one of our partners' sites or the legal record custodian (fees may apply)". (It is unclear whether wording for signed in, LDS church members is the same).
*"Access the site at a family history center. Access the site at a FamilySearch affiliate library".
*"This book may only be viewed online at the Family History Library, a family history center, or one of FamilySearch’s partner libraries". This message only applies in respect of a limited number of digitised books available in the FamilySearch Digital Library. Some FamilySearch Digital Library books cannot be viewed online at all, when the message is "This book cannot be viewed online due to copyright restrictions".
