steamsteam-family-sharing
Alright, so I signed up for the Steam Family Sharing Beta. I followed the instructions to share my games on my family member's computer.
I now see "BlueRaja's games" under their account. But, when I click it, it's empty. So how do I install one of my games from their account?
Surely there's a way to install games without having to log back into my account every time…? (otherwise there's no point in sharing to begin with)
When this question was asked, Steam Family Sharing was in beta. However, as of March 3rd 2014, Steam Family Sharing is out of beta and available to everyone.
If you open that tab now, you should see a screen like this:
If both accounts are using the same computer, you just need to point Steam to your steamapps folder location.
New from drop down menu.This will not work if he has his own computer, so he will have to install them on his own computer if he wants to play them there.

You are probably applying one of the many games list filters (ie: installed games) - choose the game library you wish to view from this menu at the top of the steam window (the same way you would filter to show only installed games) and this will present you the available games from that library:
