This codebase runs https://bybe.benyehuda.org -- the Project Ben-Yehuda digital library of works in Hebrew.

I make little effort to make the code general, but if you're looking to do something similar (e.g. a digital library in Yiddish), maybe you can adapt some of my code.

External dependencies:

• Pandoc 1.17.3 or higher for generating ebooks and other formats
• ElasticSearch for search ** https://github.com/synhershko/elasticsearch-analysis-hebrew for the Hebrew analyzer for ElasticSearch
• YAZ and libyaz-dev for the 'zoom' gem for the bibliographic workshop
• watir and selenium for scraping other catalogue systems
