Billings received his BA from Pan American College (now Pan American University) in 1953 and his MLS from University of Texas in 1957. He taught high school English, physics, and chemistry in Pharr, Texas 1953–54 before beginning work at the University of Texas Library, Austin.〔(Louis C. Moloney, "University of Texas at Austin General Libraries", Handbook of Texas Online )〕 Billings progressed from cataloguer, 1954–57, to assistant chief catalogue librarian, 1957–64, acquisitions librarian, 1965–67, assistant university librarian, 1967–72, associate director of General Libraries, 1972–1977 and finally director of General Libraries, 1978–2003, when he retired.〔''Who's Who in America'' - 2010, 64th Edition (pub. 2009)〕
Commenting on one of his articles,〔Billings, H., "The Tomorrow Librarian." ''Wilson Library Bulletin'' 69 (1995): 34-37.〕 Pam North wrote "I believe he has captured what should be at the heart of every librarian. I know it is at the center of mine."〔(Pam North, "Discovering the Heart of a Librarian," ''OLA Quarterly'' (Oregon Library Association), 5.3 (Fall 1999): 3, 4 )〕 A number of his best professional articles were collected in ''Magic and Hypersystems: Constructing the Information Sharing Library'' (2002). As one review concluded, Billings "has been instrumental in guiding the library into the digital future over the past 25 years. His essays challenge librarians to accept needed change and allow it to form the library of the future."〔Daniels, Tim. "Billings, Harold. ''Magic & Hypersystems: Constructing the Information-Sharing Library''." ''Library Journal'' 15 Nov. 2002: 108.〕 In 2003 the American Library Association awarded him its annual Hugh C. Atkinson Memorial Award for his "long commitment to innovation in automation, resource sharing, and creative management."〔(University of Texas Libraries Endowment to Honor Former Director Harold Billings )〕
