CodeIgniter loading from multiple controllers and models

I only recently started Using CodeIgniter I have a simple question is it normal to use multiple models and controllers for the same view ? What I want to do is to have a controller and a model for pagination and display records from database and then have a separate model and controller for update and delete functions. Would that be appropriate or is it better to have one model and controller for all of these functions ?

In most cases you're going to have one model per database table that handles all the database functionality for that particular table. When it comes to controllers the opinions differ here, I know some people that have one controller per view, personally I make my controllers functionality specific. So if I am dealing with membership functions they all go in the membership controller, sales functions go in a sales controller and so on.

If you have functions that a lot of controllers are going to use repeatedly look at creating a MY_Controller and extending the base controller with it. Basically you create a controller that extends the base CI controller and then all your other controllers extend that giving all your controller the functionality that is in MY_Controller.
