DOI- In simple words it is nothing but assigning number on digital objects which is internationally accepted by which that particular doc will be search, like ISBN of book.

thanks for giving very nice and short of DOI definition.

please suggest criteria for implementation in library.

welcome Ansari ji...

i just show u a very small glimpse of DOI. As we know that DOI is a indentification number of digital objects and we are familiar with the current trends of acquiring the digital material that is consortia or network  based so it is not the function of library individual. DOI is a global concept and there are some agencies working toward this DOI. so we need not worry about implementation of DOI in library individually... 

so u concern some material that is easily available on the net. and i m suggesting u to wait for another comments and u may also concern the ans comment link provided by Anupama Chetia...
