Source mods under /sourcemods/, when configured correctly, show up on Steam Library after a restart. Source Mods placed in |all_source_engine_paths|, GoldSrc mods or even Source 2 mods don't show up by default.

Steam shortcuts file

Any game/mod could by added to the Steam Library by creating a shortcut. The shortcuts file for a given user are located under the directory steam_install_dir\\userdata\\, and the path ends with config. The shortcuts are stored inside this directory, in a file named shortcuts.vdf.
