 - After reboot I logged in and cleared all the XMLUI caches and everything looked to be working fine
+- Adam from WLE had asked a few weeks ago about getting the metadata for a bunch of items related to gender from 2013 until now
+- They want a CSV with *all* metadata, which the Atmire Listings and Reports module can't do
+- I exported a list of items from Listings and Reports with the following criteria: from year 2013 until now, have WLE subject `GENDER` or `GENDER POVERTY AND INSTITUTIONS`, and CRP `Water, Land and Ecosystems`
+- Then I extracted the Handle links from the report so I could export each item's metadata as CSV
+
+```
+$ grep -o -E "[0-9]{5}/[0-9]{0,5}" listings-export.txt > /tmp/iwmi-gender-items.txt
+```
+
+- Then on the DSpace server I exported the metadata for each item one by one:
+
+```
+$ while read -r line; do dspace metadata-export -f "/tmp/${line/\//-}.csv" -i $line; sleep 2; done < /tmp/iwmi-gender-items.txt
+```
+
+- But from here I realized that each of the fifty-nine items will have different columns in their CSVs, making it difficult to combine them
+- I'm not sure how to proceed without writing some script to parse and join the CSVs, and I don't think it's worth my time
