I was wondering if there was away to get the "preview in google book" if the book doesn't have a ISBN number. A lot of the books i am using have a google book but not a ISBN number.

A example of what i mean is a book written before they made ISBN numbers such as "Dwellers in the Hills"
By Melville Davisson Post. http://books.google.com/books?id=tPcdAAAAMAAJ This book doesn't have a ISBN number. How would i got about entering this book in and get the google book preview. It would be cool if the module aslo had the option to enter in the google book address in it to.

The module is meant to import items from your millennium system; so the best way to work is to actually create 856 MARC fields that link to the Google Books inside your OPAC, and then import that into Drupal with this module. The other is to put the ISBN field in the OPAC and let the current ISBN-to-Google Book code do its thing.

Also, nothing prevents you from manually adding that information in the appropriate fields (the node's body, the Biblio URL field, or adding a special CCK field using the Link module, for instance)

Hi Janusman,

Can you tell me how to embed a google book on my site? Do I just set the filter to full html, then embed the code in the page? What's the most effective way to go about this?

Thanks!

If you plan on just doing this without the Millennium module, then yes, you can do that =)
