SMD-IPC Lib only shows up in the board, not in schematic

I've made sure that the green dot was green in the library, I've selected Library use, and Library open in schematic, but that lib will not show up when I try to add a part.

Version 6.2.0 lite

Perhaps there's simply no /device/ in it, just /packages/.

Ok, so it does indeeed appear that it's just a package, no device and no symbol.
Is there a quick and dirty way for me to find a generic Device that has the package that I want? SO24W?

Check the ref-packages library, most of the standard packages are there
as well.

Remember that in the board editor you will only see packages so if
there's a library that doesn't contain packages (supply1 for example)
then it won't show up in the layout editor's add command.
