Vishal,
Two solutions come to my mind:
1. Create an endless scroll - instead of multiple pages, the user
scrolls and more records get loaded on the same page itself. This will
obviously not work for very long list -but so would the selection
feature you are talking about - it's much more difficult with long
lists. Gmaill contacts list does this.
2. Create a bucket where selections are displayed, this selection
bucket would be visible to user in every page, making it clear that
selections from previous page are maintained.

I have a paginated list of items. The user selects an item by

checkbox. The checkbox selection, by default only applies to the
items on
that page. So if you select 5 items on the first page and then
navigate to
the second to select a few more, the items on the first page do not
get
considered for any actions while still on the second page.
I'm working on an 'expert' tool, where the desire is to be able to
select
items on multiple pages (assume there is no way to filter all of
results on
the same page). The most obvious solution is to mod (using ajax) the
checkbox in such a way that it maintains the state across pages. Is
there
anything else out there that would solve this in a better way?
