The "People Search" bookmarklet works fine, no matter what web page you're currently on (because it has nothing to do with the web page). But some bookmarklets are highly dependent on the web page that you're currently on. For example, the "Printer Friendly" bookmarklet below only works on St. Norbert web pages that were generated in Cascade. The "Wayback" bookmarklet takes you to the Wayback web site, showing you archived versions of the web page you're on.
I highly recommend that you just try one first, to see how they work. You have to use bookmarklets to appreciate them.
Information about bookmarklets can be found at Wikipedia and Google.

It's important to know that the amount of space that a bookmarklet takes up in your Bookmarks Toolbar depends completely on the length of its name. So, feel free to make up abbreviated versions of your bookmarklet names to save space. For example, if you're using the "Printer Friendly" bookmarklet above, you may want to change it's name to "PF".
