In many cases, the e-book will be listed in the UC Libraries Catalog.
To access a specific book, you can bookmark or share the link to the catalog record (permanent link at the bottom of the record screen). The record includes the access link to the resource. Alternatively, you can do a title search; make sure to select the right edition.
