First, get an account by contacting mbolding@uab.edu.

==web interface==
Once you have an account, you can import individual items using the wizard on the dspace.uabgrid.uab.edu site.

==bulk import web page==
# connect to the smb:\\dspace.uabgrid.uab.edu\dspacestage smb share
# make a copy of the templateImport directory
# make a directory for each item (see item1 dir example)
# copy files for each item into their directories
# for each item edit dublin_core.xml and enter correct values
# contents file is just a list of files without ''contents'' or ''dublin_core.xml'' (i.e. ''ls -1 > contents'', then delete the lines for those two files)
# then delete the readme.txt file and the item1 example folder and upload using  http://dspace.uabgrid.uab.edu/import/submititems.php
