Peter,

We are in the middle of an implementation here at K-State.  We don't have a checklist, but I can share about how much time and people have been involved.

We started meeting last spring about once a month, usually an hour and 1/2 at a time. First we compared different tools, then once we decided on one, the same group started work on the implementation.  We have about 8-10 people on our implementation team representing several areas of the library (circ, technical services, IT folks, public services, instruction, admin, etc.)  More often lately we have met in smaller groups between meeting to work out details, such as location codes or merging databases from 2 campuses.  We also did a series of webinars on how to implement. These ran about 6 weeks, with 1-2 hour sessions twice a week. 

Hope this is somewhat helpful.
