36 GOW 2017 Report
companies get together in events to meet, guide and have a dialogue about internet, e-services, security and jobs. This year for the first time hospital libraries participated in GOW; they informed both healthcare personnel and patients about e-health services, about different medical databases and also warned about the importance of checking the facts.
Many of the activities during the week were related to internet security and safety and how one can protect oneself from different cyber threats. Others were regarding different e-services provided by authorities and banks like digital ID’ s and about a Swedish healthcare portal.
