Previously, searching of library collection was done conventionally, by coming directly to the library. In this study, it is a system that can perform the process of searching a book, checking availability of book and online booking of rental reservations is developed. Library's data used in this research is collection of books, researches, theses and dissertations approximately 80.000 collections. The system consists of two subsystems: AdminCP and WAP Perpustakaan. AdminCP is used to manage the database on this system, while the WAP Perpustakaan is used to access library collections on mobile devices. Both systems were developed using programming language PHP with the MySQL database that implements the WAP and WAP 2.0. The reason for using PHP and MySQL is because the two programming languages are more easily explored and developed further.
