With formed digital library many obtained benefit, this benefit both library users and librarian. Benefit for users, they get newest information from various sources with time quickly (especially for the information is full text). For librarian, they have standard work operational library, improvement services, and library does not require big place. Digital library also as medium to know plagiarism from academics. The fact, libraries web of universities which developing digital collection does not all information can be accessed by public especially for information full text, information full text can be accessed only by members (its academic). Information can access public are indexes title of sources information and information activity their library.
