The good place to start to learn is usually in Info, a hypertext documentation system inside Emacs. You reach it by typing C-h r or via the menus Help - Read the Emacs Manual (This is how it looks in Emacs 22, now in pretest.) Another starting place might be http://www.EmacsWiki.org/. Interactive commands (load-library is that) can be called like M-x load-library
