How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library?

How can I "refresh" my iTunes Library? I recently moved my library to an external and made the source folder change in preferences. My library now shows all exclamations asking me to locate the files. What is the quick fix to locate or "refresh" all?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 2.8 i7

You should navigate to the "iTunes Library.itl" file and choose that.
