We use the Celestial Altium Library [1], it's really good for passive components, which make up ~80% of our schematics by count. For other parts we first try to get them through Altium Manufacturer Part Search, we vet the symbol and footprints before importing them into our internal library. Other model sources in order of preference is SnapMagic, UltraLibrarian, Samacsys. Be aware as the quality is often half-baked. Between components that meet my requirements, I will always pick the one with CAD models easily available.

With those prerequisites I only have to make 2-3 footprints from scratch per project as needed, and less so as our library grows.

This book on ADC and DACs was extremely useful to keep in a work project. TI also have good resources

ADI has some of the best technical resources in the industry, I have learned so much from them even when not using their components.
