Here are some useful EAGLE tutorials:

Once you group all of the tick marks you want to copy you have to use 
the cut command (called copy in every other program) and right click on 
the group you want to copy. Then use the paste command to insert the 
tick marks as many times as you need.

A good library would make your work a breeze.
