Just like print books, the library catalog (or SmartSearch, if you identified a book through SmartSearch) can help you access ebooks. In the search results, ebooks will have a [electronic resource] tag.
When you click on the catalog record for an ebook, it will have no call number (because it has no physical shelf location). Instead, it will have a hyperlink that says, "click here for electronic book." Simply click the link, and you can read (and print from, if you like) the ebook on your computer screen.
