Agency History
Automated Information Systems (AIS) was a program of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission that provided computer services and automation support for the entire Library. AIS grew out of data processing activities that began in 1965 in the Library's Technical Services Division. By February 1968, data processing had been transferred to the Administrative Services Division. The Data Processing Section was established in Administrative Support Services in September 1979. In 1987, the Library initiated changes in the organization and personnel of Data Processing and produced a long-range automation plan. As a result, during FY 1988-1989 the Library shifted from a centralized, IBM mainframe computer to new minicomputer systems. During the 1988-1990 biennium, the name change was made from Data Processing to Automated Information Systems (AIS).
