<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">Hi,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">It’s simple enough. Just put the
embed into the part of the field that displays.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">For example, I am using 856 $3 as a
display field in the catalog. Therefore, say I want to catalog one of the
really famous, horrible old, Monster-movies: “The Brain that Wouldn’t
Die” which is available in its entirety on Google Video at <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6660611491774828467" target="_blank">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6660611491774828467</a>.
I would make a record and then:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">Look for the embed code in the Google
Video page above, in this case:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"><embed id=VideoPlayback
src=<a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=6660611491774828467&hl=en&fs=truestyle=width:400px;height:326px" target="_blank">http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=6660611491774828467&hl=en&fs=true

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">and put this coding into the 856$3
field. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">You don’t need to understand this
coding, just copy and paste. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">You can do this with other embedded
resources, as I did with the Caesar’s Column example below using Issuu. I
made a pdf and added it to Issuu. You can do the same with Scribd. Once it is there,
you can take the code as well, e.g. at random:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"><a href="http://issuu.com/stylesamplemagazine/docs/stylesamplemag_6" target="_blank">http://issuu.com/stylesamplemagazine/docs/stylesamplemag_6</a></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">click on “embed”</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">and copy and paste the code into your
record. As you see, you don’t need a separate 856$u.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">There is almost no end to what you can
embed, powerpoints, flash movies, pdfs, etc. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: blue;">The problem is that when you do this,
the searcher goes straight to the resource and misses the page with the
metadata. I don’t know what’s better.</span></font></p><div class="im">

Would you mind sharing step-by-step how you managed to embed and ebook and a
video in Koha?<br>

If there is the capability, you can even have fun and embed them. Here's a
couple of things I've played with:<br>
<a href="http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=24674" target="_blank">http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=24674</a><br>
(An ebook I created from Project Gutenberg and placed into Issuu)<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=20627" target="_blank">http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=20627</a><br>
(a movie from Google Video)<br>
<br>
I don't know if I like this or not, but when people see them, they think it's
pretty cool. It's the way some of these APIs and similar methods to make
mashups can function. You can still do the full-screen view and everything.<br>
