Look in the testpad library..

A couple of other suggestions..

Make a 'mydevices' library, and copy your most commonly used
components into it.

Once you have that going, go through every library. Leave the ones
that are obvious like 74TTL etc alone, but look at every component in
most of the other libraries. Copy the good components out of the
libraries that only have a few components that you'd ever use. Then get
all the libraries you no longer need into a backup folder etc.
Streamline everything into what you'll actually tend to use and things
become a lot easier..
