You can also link to ebooks through the catalogue.
Remember to replace the link with the title of the book in your Moodle site.
Example of a permanent link to an ebook record
Note: for ebooks, the students will still need to select the "online access" prompt from the record to view full text. If they are off campus, they will be prompted to login at that point.
