Can you just take anything and incorporate it into your assignment or research?
NO! Whether it is text or images, video or sound clips, you must always state which resource you have used in your research. Even if you use something published as open access/resource. In fact your research should be able to be carried out by someone else using the same resources (you cited in your research).
Note: Platforms that offer e-books sometimes offer the service of how to cite an e-book. Often these are automatically generated citations. Always check that the citation matches the reference style and version used by Saxion. Avoid plagiarism by practicing correct source citation.
