Problem
Location within a series of pages should be clearly communicated, and access provided to other pages in the stack.
Solution
The many screens displayed serially for large amounts of content may be considered pages, as though they are part of a bound paper item.
Page numbers, and a sense of the relative position within the total, are displayed.
Tied to this display is a method to move between pages easily and quickly. Methods to jump further than the previous and next page are also usually offered.
Variations
Two basic variations exist:
Widget-based - Boring (p of p, jumpers)
Organic - Natural displays are becoming more common now, especially on simulating machine-era presentation methods to imply
Interaction Details
Pagination controls should be presented organically, with all controls visible or immediately accessible, whenever possible. When needed, a larger control panel style of interface may be offered instead. It may be accessed by selecting the pagination display elements.

Antipatterns
Pagination controls can easily get out of hand. In any reasonably complex system, it is easy to find justification for every method of page control. Avoid this, and attempt to only include the minimum set needed, so they can be placed on the page and be easy to find and use.
