I've defined a library of JavaScript files and CSS files required for my module to function using hook_library().
How do I go about loading this library on node/edit pages?

I would call drupal_add_library() in a hook_form_alter() implementation, like this:
function MODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if (isset($form['#node_edit_form']) && $form['#node_edit_form') {
drupal_add_library('MODULE', 'LIBRARY');
}
}
This should ensure the library is loaded whenever a node form is displayed.
And using hints from Berdir to use hook_form_BASE_FORM_ID_alter and from kiamlaluno to use #attached:
function MYMODULE_form_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form['#attached']['library'][] = array('MODULE', 'LIBRARY');
}

Doesn't answer how I then load that on node/edit pages? I'm looking for best practices here as there are always multiple ways of doing things?– CamsoftCommented Mar 8, 2011 at 12:38

You are right, I read the question quickly and misunderstood its intend. Commented Mar 8, 2011 at 14:04

3Note: You can use MYMODULE_form_node_form_alter() in Drupal 7.– BerdirCommented Mar 8, 2011 at 14:37
If you are modifying, or outputting a form, you can use the #attached attribute, which is described as "allows loading of CSS, Javascript, libraries, or custom types when the form is built".
