The focus in implementing this digital library is how to store existing information, then how to put it back quickly. However, the effectiveness of implementing a digital library must of course be supported by a management strategy, for example a service management strategy which is one of the keys to the success of a digital library. Digital libraries must also pay attention to their effectiveness in disseminating information quickly and accurately to the public, or what is usually called information dissemination. The background to this research is due to the increasing need for information, especially among students and university lecturers.
