Hi Marwah,

You may also find the Opensource Umlaut framework useful. It's a Rails app that acts as a delivery aggregation system. You can configure your own connections to various library resources (e.g SFX, PubMed, HathiTrust, etc.) and even build your own adapters to services that are not included in the default installation. 

Hope this helps.
