The university may not be a member of Crossref, so submitting information at that level may not be common for them.  However, that doesn't mean they do not understand DOI or Crossref generally.

Dear members,

I got into a curious situation. I recently published a paper in a journal, run by one of the universities in NY State, that failed to provide DOI for my paper.

The editors were advised to submit the metadata for the paper to Crossref and contacted the university librarians but the latter could not help, being unaware of Crossref.

Isn't that scandalous for an American university? How common is this situation in the USA?
