    The following are the possible values for the Source Type field:
    • Alma - The link was clicked from within Alma staff user interface.
    • Primo and Primo Central - The link was clicked from Primo or Primo Central.
    • The source - When the link is clicked from another source, such as Web of Science, Ebsco, Pubmed, Google Scholar, or any other external source, the name of the source is used as the source type.
