The first and second families of D-wave bb̅ quarkonium states are expected to have masses near 10.16 and 10.44GeV/c2. The accuracy of these predictions is discussed, and the prospects of methods for producing these states in electron-positron collisions are updated. Direct scans in the e+e- center of mass can give rise to the 3D1 states. The 13DJ states have also been searched for in electromagnetic cascades from Υ(3S)→γχbγγ3DJ. The sample of Υ(3S) decays required to definitively observe the 13DJ states is found to be only somewhat greater than the world’s present total.
