iTunes library content is missing since upgrading

How do I find the rest of my iTunes library that is now missing since upgrading to the latest version of the OS on my iMac? This has never happened with other upgrades.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), 2009 model

First determine if the media files are still present in the iTunes > Media folder. If they are not you will have to restore them from the backup you of course made of your computer before installing new software. If they are still there then try one of the following methods to rebuild the database which tells iTunes what media you have in your collection and where it is.
