According to one of the sites...

Adding Libraries to Blender:

- Adding the Presets.

- Download & extract the blend file to a safe place -.blender/materials works for me.

- Open Blender (not the material preset file yet) go: File/Append & browse to the materials preset file.

- Select Scene "Materials" (the only scene) you will now have a new scene called "Materials"

go back to your default/normal start up scene.

- Press ctrl/u (windows) to save user defaults.

- Now each time you open Blender you have instant access.

Til next time...
