[LTER-im] Publication updates

[Marty Downs]

I've added the instructions in my previous email, as well as a nascent list
of FAQ's to a google document, here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EegnsWDR9egjS5SS1QA6VK1D7zXw0_Y6nq6Ao2zDKfM/edit

(In the LTER-Committee-information-management/resources/biblio-updates
<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1VV8ZmOJY8X2s-gaoFVEWriUn46GS04Oc>
folder)

Keep the questions coming and I'll keep trying to address and document them.
Thanks, Marty
