be less useful. Digital Library is an application that can help students to be able to read books

with the Android platform as an information page while for administrators using the JS Client.

1. Introduction
The development of Cloud Computing Technology in the millennial era that
continues to grow and develop so fast, even every day is always growing new
innovations to break a change. According to Erik Kurniawan "Definition of Cloud
Computing is a model that allows for ubiquitous (wherever and whenever),
convenient, on-demand network access to computing resources (for example:
networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be quickly released or
added. Cloud Computing as an information technology service that can be utilized by
users with a network / internet based. Where a resource, software, information and
application is provided for use by other computers that need it. Cloud computing has
two words Cloud and Computing. Cloud which means the internet itself and
computing is a computational process "[2]. With this rapid development, people,
especially students, tend to spend more time just playing Android smartphones and
not utilizing technological developments to create something useful but only for
playing games, accessing social media and chatting that tend to be less useful and
coupled with a lack of interest in reading books even though books are an important
means for students to add insight and reference for learning. Students at the Shaykh
Yusuf Islamic University (UNIS) chose to go to the library to find books and look for
references for their final project but the library cannot be accessed every day due to
various factors such as holidays, or national holidays so students at UNIS cannot visit
them. Some examples of research that previously existed are Researchers by Agung
