Scan Book Missing on Family Search
I have been adding in the source the link to the farm book that is scanned on the internet so others can see what I'm finding on the family line. However, the link says "This image is unavailable for online viewing at this time." I'm assuming there is a glitch in the system or the contract for the rights to share the book online needs to be renewed. How can this be fixed in Family Search?

I looked in the Catalog for film # 009134720 ( which is the film number mentioned in the link https://www.familysearch.org/tree/sources/viewedit/QWTX-ZK6 )
which gave the following catalog entry https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A009134720
If you look inside one of the links for the film, the format shows a microfilm icon which means that the film is not available online, and can only be viewed at the FamilySearch Library (unless you can locate an actual microfilm at another Center)
Thus I think the message you saw "This image is unavailable for online viewing at this time." is not a glitch in the system, rather it is a reflection of the fact that the record is not available online at all. At least that's my interpretation.
However the catalog has not been updated for some time, so perhaps things may have changed. You could try writing to the FamilySearch Library if you wanted to pursue the matter further.
