Linking materials
Exactly as for Blender Internal, Cycles materials can be linked from libraries. Every
blend file containing linkable assets can be a library.
Linking materials is really a useful practice: let's say you have 20 different blend files
with objects using an iron shader, and that at a certain point of your workflow you
need to modify this iron material in all the files; by having this material linked in all the
20 files from a single blend is possible to update all of them at once by modifying just
one shader in one file.
