Eagle only searches libraries that are "active" - in the Control
Panel, expand the "Libraries" tab and right click on your new one,
then select "Use" - either that or left click on where the green dot
would be to select/deselect the library.
If your library isn't in the list, you can add alternative library
search paths - I always keep all my custom files (ULPs, libraries
etc.) in a "project" tree - in Eagle's Control Panel, go to "Options"
and select "Directories" - you can specify lists of semi-colon-
delimited search paths for personal files.
Due to windows' use of UAC, under Vista & Windows 7 no program should
store data in the "Program Files..." tree. Also, when a new version of
Eagle is installed, your personal files will be left in the old tree.
I keep a "Projects" tree for all my data, i.e. e:\Projects\Eagle\
{project-name}\... e:\Projects\Eagle\dru e:\Projects\Eagle\ulp e:
\Projects\Eagle\lib etc.
Alternative search paths are maintained across releases of Eagle.
