See http://wiki.fluidproject.org/download/attachments/1709189/Paging-Design-Examples.pdf for other paging examples

Note: Many of the below are for search navigation so should be used strictly as a reference for more robust web application pages where users need to actually do something with the items in a list (other than just choose one).

Item Navigation (long list of items users may need to do something with) 

  • Sakai's "List Navigator UI Component" in style guide & Pagination design pattern in the Open Source Design Pattern Library
  • "Item Pagination" - Yahoo design pattern, http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/pattern.php?pattern=itempagination#
  • gmail paging
  • netflix.com - no paging is just a long scrolling list
  • In this case we are probably giving the user the wrong thing when we think of giving them a list that big.  If they are looking for something
    in a huge list, things like a user or site or email, probably the first step should be to offer them a way to search or filter the list to help
    them narrow things down and find what they need, without having to wait for whole thing to load up. I suppose there might be some cases where
    they do want a whole long list, maybe to print the enrollment list for their course, but then paging can make that more difficult as well. - Peter Knoop
