Andrea, the library would be the SM.LLB Library, atleast
for v9.1 it was so it might be the same.
A word of caution though ! Make sure the pin numbering
scheme for the schematic symbol matches the correct pad
placement numbering for the footprint in layout. Also alot
of the sm parts in layout were not very well made i.e pad
size were incorrect for manufacture of a real pcb. Soldermask
on most of them was not oversized enough for the pad land.
At one time Orcad created a ipc standard library of SM footprints for
layout so the SOT23 part might be in such a library also. You can
check the download section of the Orcad/Cadence website.
Your safest bet on the footprint if in doubt is to look at the part
manufacturers data sheet for a land pattern and create one or modify
the existing one.

It still can be found in the SM.LLB library in 20 flavors. Another way
of finding parts is use GREP (or you can use M$ file search utility)
to search for text strings in the library files. In your case,
grep -i sot23 *.llb
The reason I use GREP is I can use a batch file to find all the
footprints for a project.
As Paul states, don't trust Orcad's footprints. You should check them
against trusted footprints and then store them in your own library.
About 100% of Orcad's footprints are unusable out of the box. Better
yet, learn to make this from scratch. Making your own footprints is a
necessary skill to learn for any PCB program.
