There are a number of "diffs" between Common Lisp and Scheme floating 
around on the web, e.g.:

http://dept-info.labri.fr/~strandh/Teaching/Langages-Enchasses/Common/Strandh-Tutorial/diff-scheme.html
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/novak/schemevscl.html

Googling will find others.  Common Lisp is sufficiently like older Lisps 
that some of those comparisons might be helpful.

Beyond that, a comprehensive intro+reference like TSPL should be useful:

And of course, the DrScheme help system is invaluable.  Install DrScheme 
if you haven't already, and start experimenting.
