Narrative:
Flight plan information system had been down and only came back moments before this aircraft requested taxi. Since there were no flight plan information in the system on this aircraft, I was rushing to enter it into the system. I was at the clearance delivery position and my visual reference to the runway closure was at the local position. Even though I had initially taxied the aircraft to the correct runway, my attention was on entering a flight plan and I inadvertently taxied and departed this aircraft from a closed runway.
