Why does my iTunes now say "Previous iTunes Library"? #needquickfix

A couple of weeks ago, after updating my iTunes to version 9, I was prompted to select an iTunes library. I picked the most recent one, and now, at the top of my library where it used to just say "iTunes", it says "Previous iTunes Library".

Is there a way for me to rename this or fix the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library*.
Select the *iTunes library.itl* file in \Music\iTunes\ folder.

I suspect iTunes crashed/was interupted while updating your library which is wy you were prompted to locate one. The iTunes windows title is the same as the folder containg the library file, hence it currently appears as Previous iTunes Libraries. Copy your active library file from this folder into the main iTunes folder, then follow Chris' advice above to open the library in this location.
