Prior to submitting any LSU Digital Media to an entity outside LSU, the author(s) shall first submit a disclosure of the project to this Committee. It is the Committee's responsibility to determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether the LSU Digital Media shall be treated as an LSU Work or as LSU Software as defined by the Bylaws and Regulations for the LSU Board of Supervisors, Chapter VII Intellectual Property, including whether or not an express, written release of copyright to the author(s) is appropriate by analogy to Section 7-4(a).

As there are representatives from each school on the Committee, contact the appropriate Committee member at the earliest point in your creative process so that your school representative can help you determine what needs to be done at the start of the process. This is especially important when negotiations with an outside party are involved.
