When you want to insert a link to an eBook in SAM, link the citation information to the embed code from the full title record in Ebsco as a link:

Here is an example:

Lefas, P. (2014). Architecture: A Historical Perspective. Jovis Berlin.

If you click on this eBook and view the full title record, you will see the Permalink button on the bottom of the right-side tools sidebar.

On this same sidebar you will find the Cite button, 
 
 

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. 

To embed National Film Board of Canada Videos into SAM select New -> Video or Audio and then insert the embed code from the video on the NFB site. There is a </> symbol below the video which will give you the code.

Here is a link to the National Film Board of Canada website:
