I will describe methods for searching for bundles which are only holomorphic for isolated complex structures of a base Calabi-Yau threefold. These can be used, in the hidden sector of heterotic compactifications, to stabilize the associated moduli fields. Various bundle constructions will be covered, and the possibility and consequences of resolving the potentially singular threefolds which result will be discussed. If time permits, I will also briefly mention a large set of Calabi-Yau fourfolds which is currently being classified.
