I wish the website Eprints was covered more in one or any of my classes. I had so much trouble with the assignment that I wish I understood why we were doing it beforehand. For those of you wondering, Eprints facilitates open access research and the creation of institutional repositories.
As for the assignment, I didn't have trouble comprehending what to do or how to do it. I had trouble with our remote servers again. Why they like to constantly boot me off is beyond me. I estimated that the task, which involved finding and uploading 15 articles, should have only taken me about 30 minutes. It took several hours instead. The extra time was from relogging into the university's eprints site and remote access site ridiculously often. On top of that, I would have to replicate my database search every time as well.
*sigh* The problem doesn't seem to be consistent on my end. Sometimes everything works beautifully and other times I'm cursing the servers into oblivion. At least I'm done with it for the moment.
