simulation subjects. The subjects are to be part

of the vocational group, in the basic competency

vocational subgroup. The result of the measured

subjects are; involvement of students and

teachers in a virtual classroom that utilize alimited social media and the presentation of

the idea of objects or service concept in the

form of digital books, which are paperless and

equipped with hearing-viewing media.

Measurable competencies as a result of

learning this subject called Digital Simulation

Competency. This competence consists of 5

subcompetencies, respectively; participation

in using social networking for learning;

perform online communication; create video

presentations; create visual simulations;

digitizing material into a book / digital reports.

To prepare the digital simulation educators, digital

simulation training in teacher level has been

carried out based on ve modules, namely: the

use of Edmodo Social Network for Learning; the

use of the Online Communications; producingvideo presentation; making visual simulation,

and digital books.

Library is one of the important

factors supporting the institution

and instrumental in the accreditation

process. Regarding this matter, the library now is

competing to improve their services, especially

its role in developing a digital library.

At this digital time information is easy to get

in hand. As we wake up before doing anyactivity, even for wash your face, the majority

of communication device users already busy

open the hand phone, ipad, iPhone, or similar

devices. Similarly, on the way to school or work

are already visible, where people are busy with

electronic devices within his hand.

To face this phenomenon, as the heart of a

college, library should be able to follow the

developments in the community. The library

is the heart of the college, the rst reference

scholarly works produced by the students.

Beside its other roles that are not less important,

such as a place for literary work collections or

valuable document of a nation.

Challenges in the college library is able to meet

the customer from digital era or Y generation,

who have different needs than conventionalcustomer or generation from digital immigrant.

Compensate for the digital natives lifestyle,

who is never separated from the gadget with

characteristic; fast, easy, instantaneous, and

cheap, now is the time to improve the library in

order to serve in accordance with the desires

of consumers and the development of the era,

namely by developing digital libraries.

Why digital library? Because the digital library

is a major trend today with the increasing of

users access to sources of computer-based

resources, electronic publishing which has depth

implications for literature collection development,

and utilization of telecommunication networks

by libraries, dependence on resource-based

digital resources, and no single library able to

satisfy the needs of its customer through itscollection.

Many advantages will be gained from the digital

library as a means of access to books, records,

and images. The customer do not have to

physically go to the library, a lot of people

in world can access to the same information

throughout the internet as long as the connection

is available. The main advantages of digital

library are able to obtain access to information

any time, day or night. The same sources can be

continuously used by a number of users. Digital

libraries provide access to a lot of information,

where we can move on to other parts of the

book catalogs, and so on. Another advantage

is that users can use any search term they want

(word, phrase title, name, subject) to search the

entire collection.

For rare book collections and usually have a

fragile condition, digitizing books can minimize

damage due to constant use. If the conventional

library is very limited storage space, digital

libraries do not require a large physical space. In

theory, the cost of maintenance of digital libraries

is lower than the traditional library that must

spend money to hire staff, maintenance, etc.

Certain digital libraries also provide advantages

in the form of providing information to customer

with links to sources other digital libraries

easily.

Of course, with various benets such as the

above mentioned, some problems still haunt

the establishment of digital libraries such as

copyright.

With regard to the copyright issue, the user

must be very careful because of the ease of

downloading doesnt meant piracy.

Regardless of the problem that arise, it is

time libraries in university and institutions in

both private and government gives a positive

response to the need of the public in accessing

information quickly, easily and instantly, togradually switch from conventional library to

digital library.
