I've used EAGLE for about ten years. I strongly agree with what
NeonJohn wrote below. I don't know if it is still the case, but when I
started using EAGLE all of the library parts were on metric spacing
(including DIPs and SMDs). This causes all sorts of headaches when
doing a layout on inch spacing; traces don't meet the pads. I ended up
creating my own libraries using the EAGLE libraries as a guide. I had
one main library (1_main.lbr) for standard parts and additional
libraries of specialized parts for each project.

I use professionally. It was the best that our small company could
afford. Here are some tips that will save you mucho grief.
1) This is the biggie. Make your own parts library. Then put any part
that you have to create in that library. As well, put a copy of any
standard library part in your library AFTER you've verified that the
part, especially the footprint is valid. Then put that library under
SubVersion or whatever version control system you use.
I call my library 00johh.lbr. The "00" makes it appear first in the
library list.
2) another biggie. Validate any part that you take from an Eagle
library.
