In a previous article, MaBaker@WORLDNET.ATT.NET ("Marie A. Baker") says:

I just got this in the mail:
I think I remember you asking about the Libraries
Unlimited book on the Colorado study. I called LU today and
they gave me the 800 # for High Willow, the actual publisher of
the the book.  I called them and it is still available.
 The number is (800) 873-3043.  Price is $25.00 plus $4
S&H.

The study does cover secondary libraries.
For a summary, see David Loertscher's article on it in SLJ May 1993.
