Narrative:

Aircraft crossed an active runway due to my issuing him the wrong runway. Contributing factors were additional traffic and services. When aircraft was taxied out, I was briefing the clearance delivery controller so positions could be split (ground control, clearance delivery, flight data). I did not see the aircraft cross the runway because I was amending his flight progress strip. He called holding short of the next runway and I realized he had crossed.

Original NASA ASRS Text

WHEN ACFT WAS TAXIED OUT, I WAS BRIEFING THE CLRNC DELIVERY CTLR SO POSITIONS COULD BE SPLIT (GND CTL, CLRNC DELIVERY, FLT DATA). I DID NOT SEE THE ACFT CROSS THE RWY BECAUSE I WAS AMENDING HIS FLT PROGRESS STRIP. HE CALLED HOLDING SHORT OF THE NEXT RWY AND I REALIZED HE HAD CROSSED.
