Mann Library primarily supports instruction, research, and extension activities in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Ecology, and the Division of Nutritional Sciences. Mann’s rich and varied collection includes books, journals, and databases in the fields of agriculture, plant and animal sciences, nutrition, food science, biology and biotechnology, natural resources and environmental sciences, textiles, and selected social sciences (applied economics, communication, design, education, family studies, housing, human development, human ecology, human services, and rural sociology). The library has more than 100 public microcomputers that provide access to databases, software, and the Internet. Some of the microcomputers are housed in an instructional facility.

An addition/renovation project is now under way that will give Mann Library climate control, an information technology infrastructure, and additional space for books and users. 2007 is the estimated completion date for the renovation. During the renovation phase of the project, substantial portions of the Mann collection will be in storage but can be paged from the Mann circulation desk.
