Description
Jim Burrows joined The Open University to help set up practical computing activities for the Mathematics Faculty in 1970. His early work evolved into the Student Computing Service housed in Wimpy 3, a temporary building on campus now removed. In 1979 he moved to M block and in 1981 his operation was renamed Academic Computing Services. He headed that unit for almost 20 years until his retirement in 2000.
