[Koha] Where would I put the OpenLibrary ID in the MARC record

Just to give an example of an OpenLibrary record that I created earlier 
today

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL49198571M/Analogue_Men#details

If at all possible I'd like to be able to display the cover using the 
OLID (OL49198571M) but I'm not sure where to put it.

Thanks

Nigel
