Magento: How to load js file from lib directory?

I want to add a js file from lib directory and it's path is:

rootdirectory/lib/myfolder/myjs.js

I have added the below code to get that file in 1column.phtml:

<script src="<?php echo Mage::getBaseDir('lib') . '/myfolder/myjs.js'; ?>" type="text/javascript"></script>

But it is not loading the content with the following error below: 

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Though the file is present there.

In .phtml file you need to call the js by following syntax

<?php echo $this->getJsUrl('name.js');?>

This will automatically gets located at js folder of your magento you will just have to name the js you want to load for current file to use it .

It is best to move your file to a folder rootfolder/js/ and in your layout (for example local.xml):

<default>
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addJs"><script>myfolder/myjs.js</script></action>
    </reference>
    ...
</default>
