Dear all,
Humanist subscribers on this list may have seen already my message in reply to the launch of the new EPI Search engine (

As I did not get any reply from ISCE, and the examples were expunged from the Humanist email, I decided to republish my reflection on our blog:
http://infolet.it/2016/04/06/search-engine-without-a-difference/Hope it will help others to reflect on the profound epistemic and cultural consequences of these instruments.
