We also subscribed to the Toolkit well in advance of moving (probably about 9 months-1 year). We also started accepting RDA records as soon as they appeared in the BL/Library of Congress, (though we only got round to ‘sorting’ the system display once we got close to going live).
I can’t say I looked at it a huge amount in advance of starting training (though I did use it for the CIG practical eforum), but then we don’t have that much written documentation on cataloguing (something we’re slowly sorting out…)

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] When did you subscribe to the Toolkit?
Hi, Jennifer … I’ve changed the subject line as I’m picking up on your question.
We just subscribed to the Toolkit last Autumn so I could refer to it while re-writing our documentation in the run-up to full implementation. We had been accepting RDA copy for some months prior to that, and had begun introducing cataloguing staff to FRBR and RDA concepts based on training some of us had attended, and info available elsewhere.
Cheers

At Senate House Libraries, we haven’t yet scheduled a move to RDA but are accepting RDA records and have reconfigured our LMS to display RDA fields in the catalogue. We haven’t yet subscribed to the toolkit and I’d be interested to know at what stage other libraries have done so.
