Here is an example:
If you click on this eBook and view the full title record, you will see the Permalink and Cite buttons on the right-side tools sidebar.
Kanopy videos
To add Kanopy videos into SAM, use the Share tab in the full title information screen in Kanopy to copy either the link or the embed code. If you use the embed code you don't see a screen capture of the video, just a generic screen with a link to the video in Kanopy.
Films on Demand videos
There is a widget available in SAM to easily add Films on Demand videos. When adding content in SAM select New -> Create a File -> Insert Stuff -> Films on Demand then search for and embed the video.
YouTube videos
There is also a YouTube widget in SAM. Use it the same way as the Films on Demand widget above except choosing the YouTube link in the "Insert Stuff" list. Just click on the title of the video then click the Next button on the bottom and finally click Insert then enter a title and click Publish. You should add the Author and Publication date in the "Add a description" section to give proper credit. You can click on the YouTube link on the bottom-right of the inserted video to open it up in YouTube to get this information. PLEASE READ the paragraph below:
Remember that you are responsible for ensuring that any YouTube content that you include in SAM does not violate copyright and that you use it in the terms set out in the YouTube Terms of Service. Please also view the library's Copyright FAQ

How do I link to articles on SAM?
Ebsco databases provide a button called "Permalink" on the right side of the screen when you are in the article for you to copy and paste into SAM. When using the permalink, students can access this article from anywhere. You cannot use the URL in the browser's address box on top because it will send students to an error page.
For articles from other restricted Holland College Library databases, you may need to copy the following base URL to the beginning of the URL (please not that it is https not http). First look for a share or bookmark link that should have this base URL included. If not, then add it to the beginning. Please check with library staff if you have any questions.
https://rpa.hollandcollege.com:2050/login?url=
Please note that you are NOT allowed to upload the PDF files of the articles into SAM. You can only add links to the articles.
CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
CHOICE is a good source for book reviews. Click on the link above. In the SEARCH WITHIN PUBLICATION box on the right, search for the topic of interest or a specific book title. Next, click on the Magazines link in the SHOWING RESULTS FOR section on the top of the search results list and Sort by Newest. There is a 180-day embargo by the publisher so Book Reviews published within the last six months will be unavailable: It will say "Citation Only."
