Clicking the Library button (to the right of the Search field) reveals a menu that lets you choose which project library to use for searching (and cataloging) sound effects collections. Each network project library can have a different catalog.

Choosing a library to search
1 Using the Project Manager, create an empty network project library in which to store the sound effects catalog.
2 Open a project, open the Edit or Fairlight pages, and open the Sound Library.
3 (Optional) Click the Library button (to the right of the Search field), and select the project library you created using the drop-down menu that appears. The current project library is selected by default. If you’re working within a local project library instead, the top compatible project library in the list will be the default.
4 Do one of the following:
a) If you’ve not yet connected a library of sound effects, an Add Library button appears in the center of the Sound Library. Click this button, and from the file dialog that appears, select the top-most directory of a file path that contains sound effects; if you’ve selected a directory with subdirectories inside, each subdirectory will be examined for content.
b) If you’re adding more sound effects to an existing library, then click the Option menu and choose Add Library. From the file dialog that appears, select the top-most directory of a file path that contains sound effects; if you’ve selected a directory with subdirectories inside, each subdirectory will be examined for content.
5 Click Open.
A progress bar will show you how long the operation will take. When you’re finished, a dialog will appear letting you know how many clips were added to the current library.
