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 & Item Pagination design pattern in the Sakai 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

•  http://humanized.com/reader/(start scrolling down and you will see more data added to the page via AJAX) - This ajax paging scheme works great if you have a ranked ordering of items that the user wants to see (i.e. a blog with most current on top).  But this may not be the best approach to a Gradebook that has hundreds of students and you want to get to the students with last name of "P"... then you would want to jump to a particular page and not scroll down (or click next) through a bunch of irrelevant pages. - Ryan Lowe
