Narrative:

Given taxi clearance from terminal to runway 30 (via txwys north, G, M, F) at cos. Taxi instruction never stated to 'hold short,' but was implied in taxi clearance. Low time first officer and new captain (both less than 100 hours in their respective position at this company) fairly new to this airport. Captain taxiing. As we approached runway 30, I took my gaze from outside to inside to complete last min paperwork, checklists, and final before takeoff items. When I looked outside again, we had taxied past the hold short line and onto the runway. How problem arose: complex taxi instructions during high workload flight segment with relatively inexperienced crew. Judgements/decisions: we should have stopped aircraft as soon as we were unable to determine location on airport. How discovered: first officer noticed we failed to hold short of runway.
