Can an iTunes shared library be 'loaded' using applescript

Question

When looking at iTunes shared libraries they either have a triangle on the left of the library name or not. If you click on the library name then the triangle appears if it wasnt there before. This may take some time to happen and whilst it is going on iTunes states that the library is being 'loaded'.
If the library isnt loaded then i get an error -1728 if i try any access to it, otherwise i can access the library without problems.
Is there a way of 'loading' the library using AS ?
This script illustrates and the open statement doesnt work but was my attempt to load the source
set shared_library to "iBook Music"
tell application "iTunes"
set source_list to (get every source)
set source_names to (get name of every source)
try
set playlist_count to (count of playlists of source shared_library)
on error errMsg number errNum
if errNum is -1728 then
log "* The source is not 'loaded'"
open source shared_library
else
log "* " & errMsg & errNum
end if
end try
end tell

Yes, although there are a couple of things to check and do.
First of all, when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look on the Device/iTunes U pane and make sure that Sync iTunes U is ticked ON and that the options below the tick-box are set as you want them. (Mine are automatically include all items of all collections.)
After the Sync has finished, look on the iPod:
audio - under Playlists/iTunes U. (No, I've no idea why they should be only there...)
video - under Video Playlists/iTunes U or Video/Video Playlists/iTunes U. (Still no idea why...)
One point to note, if the video is in a format that the iPod cannot play, then of course, you won't find it on the iPod, but if you have set it to Sync to the iPod, you should see a message at the end of the Sync process informing you that they haven't been transferred.
