why doesn't 'self::NODE' work?

Hello,
I am trying desparately to obtain the following input from the below xml
tree:
--------------------------------------------------------
desired output:
--------------------------------------------------------
Figure 3-3
--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------
xml tree:
--------------------------------------------------------
<PARA>
        <LINK linkend="0546">
                Figure
                <FIG NUM="3" ID="0546">
                        <TTL>
                                The Cell Membrane
                        </TTL>
                </FIG>
                3-3
        </LINK>
</PARA>
--------------------------------------------------------

This is the XPATH expression that I am using:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="PARA/LINK">
        <xsl:value-of select="self::LINK" />
</xsl:template>
--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------
This is the (undesired) output that I am getting:
--------------------------------------------------------
Figure The Cell Membrane 3-3

--------------------------------------------------------

Any help w/ this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Steve
